lol Richards

That could be 4 home runs in two innings, I say replace him with someone else til he gets his head on straight, if that can even happen.

The breeze made working outside tolerable today, not so sure the next three will be as tolerable.

It’s all about those spin rates baby ..and it is a BIG Deal . Watch the pitchers with double digit percent decline on Spin rates and watch the stats unravel . There is some luck with pitching so it may take a few starts if someone is getting lucky with balls hit hard for outs .

I love the pitcher tantrums 

There was one guy who had a 3800 spin rate, something ridiculous, his slider would start out on the outer part of the plate and almost hit the batter in the shin.

Decided to go to Sox/Yanks tonight. Should be a great evening 

Great game to go to Wiz, looked electric in the park, especially 8th and 9th innings.

Tuesday looks warm.

This is probably what I’ll be doing after work (pic from a couple years ago today). Walk out back and sit in the river… the water in the shade under the tree dips to chest deep, for easy cool-offs. From drinking an IPA and reading in the chair, to dipping down in the small pool… this is how we summer in New England.

LOL, I thought it was a figure of speech when you said river sitting time that's awesome, wish I had a place like that to sit in near me.

Last few MAV runs have been 103-104. 12z run had 103F for 00z and actual is 107F. 
 

18z MAV is 117F for tomorrow. I mean seriously wtf. 

Has to be records set in BC too and as the heat moves east it gets pretty far north in Canada during the week.

They are selling fireworks  everywhere in NJ. Are they now legal lol

 

Got myself some good fireworks 

They're legal in Connecticut but the places I've been to only have roman candle type stuff and sparklers.

Definitely a boom year for chippies. 

Chippies and rabbits, I've never seen so many rabbits in my life as I have this year.

I am shocked by the Habs. Islanders and lightning should be way better

A Goalie can win you a cup, I remember listening to one the local sports talk shows before the playoffs started and they were criticizing the Canadiens for paying Price so much, who's laughing now? Of course back then things looked great for the Bruins and the Canadiens were on the brink of not making the playoffs.

Lol. I have bitter Bruins fans for friends. Hockey is dead to them for the year. 

I do too, they hate the Habs and the Yanks and will always root against them, not sure why they care. I just want to watch a few more games of good hockey.

I’m probably the lone Habs fan who posts in the NE forum. All you Bruins fans are going to support me right?

Edit: there is one other guy, is that you?

Sure, I'll support you, if the Bruins aren't in I usually don't care who wins, plus I'm French Canadien, family is from Quebec.

Canadiens just made the playoffs by a hair have rode their goalie to the finals, unbelievable.

According  to this article it's been sinking a little each ear since the 90's

Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say (yahoo.com)

I had something similar happen a few years back and they ruled it no fault but in this instance him speeding on a wet road may be his fault.

The Front Porch.   I had seared scallops carbonara.   We had blue cheese mussels as an app that were very good.  Hadn’t had mussels in a long time. So good. 

Good place, about a mile from where my sister lives, have had some good meals there.

You in Iceland Dave?

That sucks, I went over the handle bars when I was a kid and landed on my head, probably explains a few things today but it was not fun.

I have been shocked at the number of drownings in Mass over the last few weeks.   Not sure if stats are kept annually but it seems quite high

I heard he cop in Worcester and the kid gut sucked in by muck and couldn't get themselves out, horrible.

Yankees won with a triple play lol

That is 3 triple plays so far this year with the Yankees 

I went to a Sox Twins games in the 80's and the Twins got two triple plays in one game, both started by Gaitti, tagged third, threw to second and over to first.

Oosties gonna blow this.

snowman for DeChambeau, looked like me with one foot on the bunker hitting that shot.

Anyone pick Oostie? He's looking good right about now.
